Hedgehog Mash and Chipolatas
MAKING animal shapes out of food somehow makes it taste so much better. Here is an old favourite, bangers and mash with a twist.
HEDGEHOG MASH AND CHIPOLATAS
Ingredients
4 peeled potatoes
A heaped teaspoon of butter
2 tablespoons of milk
10 chipolata sausages
Method
1. Cut potatoes into quarters, put in a pan of water, bring to the boil and cook for about 8 minutes.
2. Test to see if they are cooked by prodding them gently with a fork.
3. Ask a parent to drain the hot water then add butter and milk before mashing with a plastic potato masher. You may need help to get it really smooth.
4. Meanwhile put the sausages under a medium grill for about 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
5. Turn the mash out onto a plate and shape it into a mound. Smooth it off with the back of a spoon.
6. Stick the chipolatas halfway into the mound of mash, spreading them out all over so that they look like hedgehog spikes and enjoy.
